f ,or", kindness and compassion arise only in agentle mind. So, whatever hardens the mind, what-ever makes it gross, acts as an impediment to thearising oflove in a person.

Are they not two acts ofmutual contradic-tion, rmimaginable to sane mind, to wish happinessto an animal, a living being, on one day - and onanother to eat the flesh ofthat same animal?

When one speaks ofall beings, there is nota single species of animal that is not included in thatstatement. Not only land animals like cattle, goats,pigs and poultry but also aquatic animals like fishes,crabs and prawns are all included, be they big orsmall.

Silverdove Congress, Chiang Mai, Thailand* - Feb l4-lg, 2000Vegetarian Tour of India - 5 March to 20th March -organised by StephenAbelsohn, Supporter (Life Member) of IVU.34th World Vegetarian Congress. Toronto, Canada - July i 0- 16, 20008th EVU Congress, Turkey 2001

Silver Dove Club which supports holistic lifestyle and education,vegetarianism, nature and energy,'healing-methods, is founded by KatherinaBless (memeber of lvu council and its co-ordinator for natural therapies). Sheis the chief organiser of this Congress. The Assistant Organiseq AdjarnKanokwan Ukoskit, is a lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine, University ofchiang Mai, a cancer survivor who helps raise awareness about healthy eatingand lifestyle and owner of a vegetarian Restaurant. Gen. Saiyud Kerdphol.former Supreme commander of the Thai army and first president of the Thaivegetarian Union - a vegetarian for 20 years - is the honorary chairman ofthisCongress.

The new IVU Constitution, adopted at the end of Ocrober 1999,abolished the roles of President, Depury President (preriously elected at !7orldcongresses) and General Secretary (appoinrcd by dre International council). Thesewere replaced by Chairperson, Depury chairperson and Secretar); all to be electedby the I,ternational council. The council held rhese elections in Decemberlgggand the r<sults were:

Chairperson : Maxwell Lee Depury Chairperson: Keving pickard

Secretary : Hiren Kara

Most of the work of the council has now been shared out to rhe MembershipSecreury(Tina Fox), MaqazineEdiror (Paulrirner) and rhe Rgional Representatives(for Africa, fuia, Australasia, Europe, Larin America and Nonh America ).

ffeOiterroneon OegJest, ffofto &t.l99gThe Mediterranean vegetarian festival in Malta was such a

success that plans are already afoot for a similar event in southernEurope at the beginning ofApril next year at the seaside resort ofpiranjust a few miles south of Trieste.

The Maltese event, which ran from World Vegetarian Day through WorldFarm Animals Day, Gandhi's birthday and the Feast of St Francis ofAssisi, certainly provided something for everyone. participants frommore than a dozen countries and three coutinents converged upon thesmallest nation state on earth for what turned out to be the happiestand most united veggie gathering I have ever attended - thanks to thewarmth and kindness of our Maltese hosts as well as the gloriousweather and seaside location.

The inaugural ceremony set the tone for the whole festival,with Francisio Martin and Marcel Hebbelinck both in sparkling form.French veggie chef Jean-Claude luston s food was such a success thatthe hotel manager now wishes to incorporate vegan dishes in thestandard meru - a development barely conceivable even just a fewmonths ago.

The quality of the speakers brought considerable media interestand the VegSoc have been given a weekly television slot for the next 13weeks as a result. So quite a lot was achieved in building on the hardwork of the local society and bringing the veggie message to a culturetraditionally hostile to it.fcourtesy: IVU oN-uNE Newsletter, Dec. 1gg9- comm,nication from vanessa clarke.J

I*IttENI{IUM VfrfiHTARIAru RALLY

(Hyde Park, London, 3 1 st December 1999)

Timed to coincide with the first dawn of the year 2000 on tlre other sideofthe planet, at noon Greenwich mean time, the Millennium VegetarianRally in London's Hyde Park organised by Nitin Mehta of the Younglndian Vegetarians was the culmination of a world-wide year of pledge-taking launched at the IVU World Congress in Thailand this time lastyear.

Despite freezing weather and transport difficulties, vegetarians andvegans travelled from all over the United Kingdom and, indeed, from anumber of other countries, to see the young oak tree planted nearSpeakers Corner rvitlr a time capsule containing the text of the pledge.Blessed by members of all the world's major religions but above all bypeople gathered to express their compassion for the planet and all thosewith whom we share it, the tree should get off to a very good start.

There was live music and dancing by Indian school children, spoonbending by Uri Geller and a beacon lighting ceremony, as well as poemsby Bernie Laprade with a plea for a change of heart by the carnivorousmajority: "The challenge is to make them see/ Way deep inside theirhead/ That the Universe is countin gl Every time they eat the dead."

Mahaveer Awards were made to a dozen major vegetarian, animalprotection and environmental organisations, including the VSUK, andto four outstanding individuals - including the indomitable octogenarianJoan Court from Cambridge, founder president of APE (Animals, Peopleand the Environment) and Francisco Martin, President of the SpanishVegan Society and until recently General Secretary of IVU. So IVUmembers and affiliated organisations were well represented.

It was particularly encouraging to see the Jewish and Muslim vegetariansocieties represented as well as Christian, Buddhist and Jainorganisations, to name but a few.

h4iLLENF{IUfu{ VHfi HTARIAN RALLY

(Hyde Park, London, 3 lst December 1999)

Timed to coincide with the first dawn ofthe year 2000 on the other side

ofthe planet, at noon Greenwich mean time, the Millennium VegetarianRally in London's Hyde Park organised by Nitin Mehta of the YoungIndian Vegetarians was the culmination of a world-wide year of pledge-

taking launched at the IVU World Congress in Thailand this time lastyear.

Despite freezing weather and transport difficulties, vegetarians and

vegans travelled from all over the United Kingdom and, indeed, from anumber of other countries, to see the young oak tree planted near

Speakers Corner rvith a time capsule containing the text of the pledge.

Blessed by members of allthe world's major religions but above all bypeople gathered to express their compassion for the planet and all those

with whom we share it, the tree should get off to a very good start.

There was live music and dancing by Indian school children, spoon

bending by Uri Geller and a beacon lighting ceremony, as well as poems

by Bernie Laprade with a plea for a change of heart by the carnivorousmajority: "The challenge is to make them see/ Way deep inside theirhead/ That the Universe is counting/ Every time they eat the dead."

Mahaveer Awards were made to a dozen major vegetarian, animalprotection and environmental organisations, including the VSUK, and

to four outstanding individuals - including the indomitable octogenarianJoan Court from Cambridge, founder president of APE (Animals, People

and the Environment) and Francisco Martin, President of the Spanish

Vegan Society and until recently General Secretary of IVU. So IVUmembers and affiliated organisations were well represented.

It was particularly encouraging to see the Jewish and Muslim vegetariansocieties represented as well as Christian, Buddhist and Jainorganisations, to name but a few.

S i, poul McCartney oJ' Beatles fame is best

known as a celebrity figure in modern music.Beatles fans in Sri Lanka would perhaps besurprised to hear tltat both Paul and his wifeLinda were front-line vegetarian activists.

Lirao, who died in April l99B was a Patron ofthe Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom. TheSummer 1998 issue of the Society's Newsmagazine"The Vegetarian" published a tribute to Linda withexcerpts from an interview given by her in 1995.

fn this interview Linda McCartney comments on

veggie trends in UK and USA. "In the past tenyears," she says, "eating habits in both countrieshave changed dramatically. According to the UKsurveys, there's been a 300% increase in thenumber of female vegetarians in that tinrc and inthe US, the number of veggies has doubled. I thinkpeople in the USA, UK ancl around the world arebecoming more owqre of what they're eating andhow it affects them. But then, we seem to be livingin a tirue of great awareness an!wo)' .. l0 yearsago Nelson l[andela was in prison, the Berlin Wallwas still up and the Soviet Bloc was still dictctting.It is the same with our diet. All over the world,people are freeing themselves frorn the n'aditional,older ways of being, to enjoy a healthier kinderway of ltfe"."As a group, il's the teenage girls who havebecome the anintals' greatest allies. Recently inBritain, a survey was conducted among recdersof a teenage girls' magazine and the results wereastonishing - 49% of girls aged l4-16 werevegetarian and many of them had been veggie

for a couple of years. I think the rneut industry isin for a big shock as tnore and more young womenare sticking to their beliefs".

fn * tuibute to Lady McCartney, T'he Vegetarian

goes on ta say, "Linda lvfcCartney can take a latof the creditfor bringing vegetarianismfirmly intothe mainstream in the UK. She helped changepeople's attitudes to vegetarianism, mal:ingvegetarian convenient foods accessible ta all, anda familiar sight on supermarket shelves as it hadnever been before." She entered the vegetarian

food industry, not in search of profit, but because,in her own words, it.was her greatest hope to make"this new food available in every country of theworld. I want to create tasty meatless alternatives.. so that people c.an enjoy the taste but nothinghas to suffirfor their appetite". Her husband Paulremarked, "A less likely business womon youcould not hope to meet.. she was a person whowas driven by principle, passion and compassion,stcting 'vegetarianism isnT a business for me,rather a mission'.

S*rrrd in 1991, the Linda McCartney Foods has

become a multi-million pound enterprise,producing as of last year 38 varieties o-fvegetarian meals. "Her pioneering vision madeother manufacturers sit up and realise the growthin popularity of vegetarianism and just what amassive potential market now existed .Linda s

involyement had a catalytic effect that led to anexplosion oJ' dedicated vegetarian foods availablein the high street".

On the massive growth of the McCartney brand

as a household name in food, Paul commented"How many women can you think of who wouldsingle-handedll take on the Meat and LivestockCommission, risk not being laughed at, and yetsucceed?

fn tgSg Lacly McCartney successfulty ventured

into culinary literary production u,ith the tpublication of Linda McCartney's Home Cooking. Y/Another work by her Lindab Kitchen publishedin 1995 ,sold over 400,000 copies, demonstratingthe popularity of the meat-free diet andencouraging other authors and publishers tofollow ,suit.

H*ng been vegetarians for tuell over 20 yeors,

Paul ond Linda McCartney became patrons o.fVSUK in May 1995. In a fitting tribute to thisunique woman, the 1998 UK National YegetarianWeek celebrations were dedicated to her memory.But, as Sir Paul remarked, "The tribute she wouldhave liked best would be for people to govegetarian. "

v

"Animal source food is adaptive when there's not enough food, trut in a world with abundant anddiverse plant foods, animal source food is obsolete and only causes problems."
